You may then not be covered by warranty for this damage. Some fabrics are not suitable for tumble drying. The following MUST NOT be placed in your dryer due to the risk of a fire or an explosion: ! Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil, cooking oil, suntan oil, linseed oil, salad oil, lubrication oil or grease. Oil affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to ignite. Piling, stacking, or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil, or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer, they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent this will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard. The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled while hot. ! Items that have previously been cleaned in, washed in, or spotted with petrol/gasoline, industrial chemicals used only for cleaning, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances. Highly flammable substances commonly found around the house include acetone, (nail polish remover) denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers. Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials. Foam rubber materials can produce fire by spontaneous combustion when heated. ! Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, rubber boots and rubber-coated sports shoes. Only plug this appliance directly into an AC power supply, which is properly earthed and has the correct voltage. See the serial number sticker located on the top of the door opening for voltage information. CAUTION: If this appliance is supplied from a cord extension set or electrical portable outlet device, the cord extension set or electrical portable outlet device must be positioned so that it is not subject to splashing or ingress of moisture. For safety reasons we strongly advise against the use of double adaptors, extension cords or power boards. This tumble dryer is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. IMPORTANT: If the electrical cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the Manufacturer, Authorised Service Agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. These dryers are for drying clothes, towels and linen at home. Do not use them for any other purpose. For your safety, and to reduce the risk of fire or an explosion, DO NOT store or use petrol or other inflammable vapours and liquids near your dryer. 2 Important Safety Instructions LINT BUILD-UP IS A FIRE HAZARD DRYING GUIDE A clean lint filter reduces drying times, saves energy and avoids overheating. Overheating may also damage your clothes. Your load, when dry must not exceed the rated capacity. ! 4kg for the 4kg Machine ! 5kg for the 5kg Machine ! 6kg for the 6kg Machine (See page 6 for a table of average weights of laundry items) What happens if I forget to clean the lint filter? Drying Time Always check your labels for the drying symbols which the International Care Labelling Code now uses. tripled doubled normal 9 1 5 Number of usages with an unclean lint filter (based on laboratory tests using a load of new towels) The lint filter is located at the front of your dryer at the bottom of the door opening. Delicate drying (low temperature) ! Woollen articles - not recommended. Pull them to their original shape, then dry them flat. ! Woven and loop knit materials - may shrink, by varying amounts, depending on their quality. Do not use the ‘hot’ setting for these fabrics. Always stretch them out immediately after drying. ! Fibre or leather materials - always check the manufacturer’s instructions. ! Baby clothes and night gowns - acrylic clothing or sleepwear use only on the ‘warm’ setting. ! Rubber and plastics - Do not dry any items made from or containing rubber or plastics, such as aprons, bibs, babies’ waterproof napkins, curtains, tablecloths, shower caps, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes, or rubber coated tennis shoes. ! Fibreglass - not recommended. Glass particles left in the dryer could be picked up by your clothes the next time you use the dryer, and irritate your skin. During the drying cycle, if you want to ! add or take out clothes, or ! check the dryness of the load, turn down the timer to ‘Airing’ for at least one minute before opening the door. This is to prevent scorching or possible self combustion of the fabric. Open apart the lint filter and wipe or peel off the lint. Ensure the lint filter ‘clicks’ when replacing. It can be inserted into the pocket either way. ! Do Not Tumble Dry Permanent press and synthetics - take out as soon as the dryer stops to reduce wrinkles. You must clean this lint filter after every load. ! ! ! Normal drying (high temperature) !

Pull the lint the two pads together. outfilter of the Pull filter the lint outpocket. of the pocket. May be tumble dried Never operate your dryer without the lint filter. Do not allow lint to build up around your dryer. A torn or damaged lint filter must be replaced immediately. Overloading can increase lint build-up because the airflow is reduced. Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product. Note: We strongly advise against the use of fabric conditioners of the sheet type that are added to the clothes in the drum. These products may lead to rapid blockage of the lint filter and inefficient operation of your dryer. To avoid potential fire hazards, we recommend that you pay a qualified service technician to periodically clean your dryer. You must do this also when you change your mounting from upright to inverted, or vice versa. 3 Installation Instructions Do not install your dryer in a cupboard or small un-vented laundry unless you are using a venting kit. You can choose to put your dryer:! on the floor. ! on a work bench. ! on a wall, upside down or upright, using the included mounting kit. ! on top of a front load washing machine (using a stacking kit available as an optional extra). There are 2 VENTING OPTIONS ! front ! rear - using a venting kit (optional extra) Venting Kit DVK005 - Through the wall DVK006 - Universal flexible hose Important: Use only kits approved by Electrolux Home Products Pty Ltd with your dryer. Contact the Electrolux Home Products Pty. Ltd. Spare Parts Centre for the list of approved kits. The exhaust duct must not exceed 2 metres in length and 100mm in diameter. If connecting the dryer to a common ducting system, safety advice should be requested from the manufacturer. The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer in such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted. Stacking Kit You can use a stacking kit if you want to mount your dryer on top of a Simpson front load washing machine. Use the kit part number DKSK03. Refer to the kit instructions on how to install. NAME BADGE If you choose to use an optional vent kit, the exhaust grille at the front of the dryer will need to be replaced with the outlet cover from the back of the dryer. Gently prise open the grille, using a thin bladed tool. Next, remove the cover from the back and clip it into the grille space at the front. The exhaust grille is not required when using a vent kit. TEMPERATURE CONTROL TIME CONTROL INLETS DOOR SAFETY SWITCH BUTTON EXHAUST GRILLE DRYER STACKING KIT WASHING MACHINE OUTLET COVER You can position the vent kit at the back of the dryer to remove air upwards or sideways. air flow The exhaust grille has a range of positions, which allows you to select the optimum exhaust air angle. Simply hold the grille and rotate it until it hits the built-in stop. air flow Inlet and outlet points need clear airflow to prevent overheating, so ensure there is adequate ventilation. (i.e. open window or external door.) removable exhaust grille If a venting kit is used and the exhaust is discharged out of the room, there must be adequate ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires, when operating the tumble dryer. This is not applicable where a venting hose is directed to an open window. The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. Name Badge You can invert the name badge when you want to mount your dryer upside down on the wall. Use a suitable tool (such as a thin bladed tool). Unclip the badge from the panel, invert and clip back. 4 Quick 5 Step Operating Guide Select the drying time. Load your dryer loosely until it is no more than TWO THIRDS FULL. Clothes must tumble freely in a dryer. Don’t cram them in. Wet clothes fluff up when dry. Only turn the control knob clockwise. Switch On The dryer will not operate unless the safety button on the door is fully pressed in. DOOR SAFETY SWITCH BUTTON Overloading will: ! Reduce efficiency ! Increase drying time ! Increase the risk of creasing Clean Lint Filter After every load clean the lint filter located at the front of your dryer to reduce drying times and avoid overheating. Do not load clothes or other articles which are dripping wet into your dryer. Select one of the two (2) temperature settings. TEMPERATURE CONTROL STANDARD FEATURES Reversing Action The drum is designed to turn one minute in each direction, clockwise and anti-clockwise. This reduces tangling and gives more even drying in a shorter time. TIME CONTROL ! ‘Warm’ for delicate items which can shrink, such as synthetics, underwear, etc. ‘Hot’ for heavy, durable items such as towels and flannelette sheets. ! Cooling Down At the end of the drying cycle, there is automatically a time of no heat, to cool down the load and minimise creasing. Useful Hints ! Drying time will also be affected by voltage fluctuations, room temperature and humidity. Clothes will dry more slowly on a cool or humid day. ! Do not place in your dryer undergarments such as bras and corsets that contain metal reinforcements. Your dryer may be damaged if metal parts were to come loose from the garment. Place such items in a bag designed for this purpose. For best results, sort the load according to fabric types. Such as heavy items which may take longer to dry, eg towels, flannelette sheets etc, than ones which dry quickly, eg poly/cotton shirts and sheets. ! Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured items such as towels as lint will show on the dark clothes. ! Check and empty pockets. Clips, pens, nails and pins can damage both the dryer and your clothes. Other items such as matches or cigarette lighters will cause a fire. ! Note: Some fabrics will collect lint from other clothes and items. Separate the lint ‘givers’ and the lint ‘collectors’ to minimise this problem. Clothes that give lint include towels, nappies, chenille. Clothes that collect lint include corduroy, synthetics and permanent press garments. Close all press studs, hooks, eyes and zips that may catch on something else. Tie all belts and apron strings to prevent tangling. ! Drying time will depend on fabric type and construction, load size and wetness. Save time and money and always spin the load as dry as possible in your washing machine. If individual items are still damp after drying, set a 30 minute post drying time. This will be necessary particularly for multilayered items (eg collars, pockets, etc). ! Always clean the lint filter - this will reduce drying time and save you money. ! ! ! Never tumble dry the following: Delicate items such as net curtains, woollen, silk, fabric with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets, eiderdown, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any item containing rubber foam or materials similar to foam rubber. 5 Useful Hints, Troubleshooting & Accessories USEFUL HINTS (continued) TROUBLESHOOTING ! The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying. Check the points listed here before you call for help, and make sure that you have followed the Important Safety Information on pages 2 & 3. ! Easy-care items eg shirts, should be briefly pre-spun before drying (depending on the crease resistance approximately 30 seconds) ! To avoid static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers. ! Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished drying. ! Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy. ! Clothes or towels containing sand or grit should be washed first. If you can’t start your dryer, check these probable causes. ! Plug is not firmly in socket, or power not turned on. ! You have blown a fuse. Check that power point with another appliance. ! You have not closed the dryer door or pushed in the door safety switch button. ! You have not turned the control knob to the setting you want. If your clothes are still wet: ! The selected drying time was insufficient. Turn the control knob to a longer time setting. ! Longer time may be needed when the room 0 temperatures is 10 C or less. ! Check that the lint filter is not blocked. ! Check to see that you have read all the instructions carefully. ! Contact the Service Centre if you are still having problems. Write down the model and serial numbers and the date of purchase before you ring. The Service Centre will need this information.
